Poble Espanyol










Next and my longest stop yesterday - at Poble Espanyol (Spanish Village) on Avinguda del Marques de Comillas.  Poble Espanyol was built for the 1929 International Exhibition in order to display Spanish architecture styles and crafts.  It may be a tourist trap, but it was so fascinating!  I just loved it.  Styles of architecture from all over Spain are included in over 100 buildings.  If you're able to click on my photos and check out "Properties", you'll see the name of my photo and in brackets at the end of the name of the photo the region of Spain that the building depicts (e.g., Aragon, Castille y Leon, Galicia).  In the last panoramic view, you can see the Sagrada Familia by Gaudi in the background.  In the last photo, note how much a weary lawyer can look very reinvigorated after just a few days away from the office.  Salud!  :)
